This is how Enron did its accounting (seriously)
On one side of the ledger, we have half a trillion dollars in operating losses expected over the next 5 years.
On the other side of the ledger, we have all the money we'll hypothetically make when the hypothetical technology we imagine comes into existence mostly on its own.
So it's net positive.

Watching “The Great Escaper” on PBS, with Michael Caine as an aging WW2 vet. The flashback scenes are accompanied by period swing music.
In another 50 years we’ll be watching the same sort of movie, with a soundtrack of “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor”. 🤣

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Its sad that the same terms & catch phrases from the 1950s are still being used today by the conservative/right-wingers. Since the end of the Gilded Age, the slow, relentless,& quiet infiltration, & take over by conservatives/right-wingers is the worst kind of awe inspiring. Its mind breaking.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.
Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]
